Today we will
- Introduce what NGS sequencing is
- How do you generate Illumina NGS sequencing data
- [Practical] How to evaluating NGS data
What is Sequencing?
Converting the chemical nucleotides of a DNA molecule
to
ACTG on your computer screen
What is NGS?
NGS: Next Generation Sequencing
- MASSIVELY multiplexed!
